The Karnataka High Court stayed a 2024 criminal case against D. K. Shivakumar over a controversial Facebook post targeting Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, with Justice Sunil Dutt Yadav seeking the State’s response to his plea challenging the proceedings.
The Supreme Court declined to interfere in a case against a law graduate who posted that the Babri Masjid “will be rebuilt.”
The Bench said the defence can be raised before the trial court as the plea was withdrawn after brief exchanges.
